I used a gin from Amalga Distillery in Juneau Alaska that was rested in Pineau des Charentes casks, which pairs perfectly with this amaro. Pineau des Charentes is a French apéritif made from a blend of grape juice and cognac that has been resting in French oak barrels for 12 months. It has a fruity vanilla flavor and the gin really pulls those flavors out of the barrel. Use your favorite gin for this wintry cocktail.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Amalga Distillery gin finished in Pineau des Charentes casks
- 1 ounce handmade Winter Spiced Alaska Amaro
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (to add a smooth mouthfeel)
Preparation
Add all of the ingredients to a jar, and let it sit and curdle for 1 hour. Using a coffee filter, strain into an ice-filled jar. Stir and strain into your favorite coupe glass and enjoy!
